I am quite new here, I noticed that there is not LaTeX here in Database Administrators, is there any reason for that? or maybe it will be better if we could use LaTeX. e.g to write stuff like that (Relational Algebra):

Thanks

EDIT: here a small taste about LaTeX power, making tables easly and many many more.

Why does it need LaTex? Are there any posts that need this special formatting? I don't think I've ever seen a post on Database Administrators that would need this.

@bluefeet One case is illustrated in the picture - relational algebra. Questions that would benefit massively from this are fairly rare though, in my estimation.

@PaulWhite Ok, but is this being posted in questions/answers on the site enough to have this available? I don't think I've seen any posts that this would be needed on. Maybe an example or two would be helpful.

If it were a "simple checkbox" to enable this for Database Administrators without any consequences at all, I'd probably say "yeah, OK, why not" but I don't think that is the case.

The case is clearly pretty compelling for sites like Mathematics, but not here.

To address a point brought up in a comment to the question, I don't think this is the solution for the 'tables' issue either (assuming for a moment that it is an issue). How many people that currently struggle with an ASCII table (or other workaround) would be able to generate the required LaTex? Not many, I would suggest.
